Abstract

The following study aims to analyze the irony in the literary of modern Indonesian play. Data collection method used is literary study by recording and archiving. Data analysis method uses a content analysis method. Researchers interpret the plays that become the object of research by relating the phenomena contained in the texts of the plays to the concepts of irony, intertextual reception theory, and socio-historical phenomena. The results of the study show the amendment cycle of irony from plays before independence to the plays of the 1970s decade. The amendment started from the use of tragic irony, then semantic inversion in various forms consisting of satire, paradox, parody, absurd, and finally back to tragic irony. The amendment cycle of that irony is a representation of the cycle of change in Indonesian culture.
